Kitchen disaster! Oppssss sorry…

Kitchen is a HEART of a house. Functional kitchen not only acts as a place to cook BUT also as a place for socialization. Kitchen should also be soundly safe for cooking activities. So, how to know if you have a disastrous kitchen?

If any of the following apply to you or your kitchen, then you should do something…..may be buying or renting a new house….lol.

  • Preparing a simple meal such as cooking instant noodle a.k.a. MAGGI is so stressful.
  • Your workspace to do all the chopping is only half meter wide. If you have used the kitchen for more than a year and still have TEN fingers, consider your-self as LUCKY.
  • You can’t cook what you want when you want.
  • The space is overrun with gadgets i.e. the blender, the toaster, the cutleries, the microwave, the multiple chopper, the bread-maker, the kettle. egg slicer, strainer etc.
  • Your kitchen cannot accommodate more than one cook at a time and does not provide sufficient space for your guests.
  • Your appliances are squeezed together until the kitchen looks like electrical store.
  • The floor, surfaces and doors are very sticky and oily…..until you can scoop and reuse them when frying…..euuuwwww


    Do remember these; only buy gadgets that you will use them for at least once in a month. Choose appliances with appropriate size in comparison to the space that you have in the kitchen….do you really need the THREE doors refrigerator! Do give priority to your workspace…..think about where to prepare, where to cook, where to plate the dishes.

    Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

    What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero.  Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA...

    Too dark...too bright....

    Too dark or too bright.....this is due to poor exposure of the sensor to light. Is it a problem if my photo is too dark or too bright? May be yes and may be no, depends on what you want in your image. If the photo is too dark (underexposed), you will loss the detail of the shadow. If the photo is too bright (overexposed), you will loss the texture of the cloud and sky. Exposure is a combination of two fundamental settings: the aperture opening and the shutter speed. Aperture opening is the function in your lens and the shutter speed is the function in your camera. Optimal exposure can be achieved with many combinations of aperture opening size and the shutter speed, BUT each combination will have differences in depth of focus, motion blur and etc. How this exposure can be controlled? The answer is by having a good understanding of the combination of aperture and shutter speed. Shallow depth of focus, focus point was on the middle broccoli, focal length of 50 mm, large aperture ope...

    The Town of Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom

    The time available for me to explore the Town of Reading was limited, as my worktrip was quite packed with formal meetings at the University of Reading and vis it to hospital and community establishments. Reading is located on the west of Heathrow Airport for about 26 miles and Greater London for about 42 miles. The Town Hall of Reading with grey and red bricks Lets go to the main landmarks of Reading. The first one is Reading Town Hall. The building was built between1786 and 1897. Currently, the town hall is used as Reading Museum and a large concert hall. Actually, the frontage was newly built with grey and red bricks, and terracota ornaments. The new facelift included the clock tower. Sadly however, the building suffered severe air raid in 1943. The latest refurbishement was completed in the year of 2000. On the southside of the town hall, you can see a dominant tower like structure that is the St Laurence’s Church. The Reading Town Hall, a vi...
